What people are saying

by a teacher
Thursday, March 5, 2020

I taught at MES for one year and it was the most absolutely terrible experience. I had no support from administration and the students basically ran the school. Students were not able to talk AT ALL during lunch, which was supposed to be one time they were actually able to socialize. Recess was only 15 minutes, which was a terrible decision by administration. It was almost like teaching in a jail. Close Quote
